"Hermione! No! Oh no…don't open your eyes!" Fred and George Weasley yelled together Hermione closing her eyes quickly scared by the fear in their voice. In the Weasley's Burrow home Hermione and Harry had joined the Weasley family for the summer holiday. Mrs. Weasley, Ron, Harry and Hermione were all in the kitchen the Weasley twins had been brewing up some new products for their joke shop. It just so happened that they had been working on developing a stronger love potion that would last up to a week longer and cause the first person they look at to fall instantly in love with them. Much better than the ones they currently had in stock George added quickly. Hermione who just came in from the garden helping Mrs. Weasley pull up some sprouts from the garden was extremely thirsty and had downed a full cup of Fred and George's new love potion.
"What is it?" Asked Mrs. Weasley looking sternly at the twins a frown on her cubby face.
"Love potion!" The twins answered together.
"Why did you have a love potion sitting in a cup on the kitchen table boys?" Bellowed Mrs. Weasley moving toward the twins angrily. Ron and Harry who were standing beside Hermione stared at Hermione eyes stilled tightly close.
"Well Bill was going to test it for us. Seeing as he is already in love with Fleur she was going to stand in front of him and see if it was love at first sight. He would of course just act more outwardly about his affections for Fleur but you see he just ran up stairs to get her. So we just sat it there. We didn't know someone would just come in and pick up the cup off the table." Fred finished quickly for Mrs. Weasley frown was becoming deep.
"How was I to know it was a bloody potion!" Hermione spoke for the first time. Bill and Fleur walked in to the kitchen followed by Mr. Weasley and Ginny.
"What's going on?" asked Ginny looking at Fred and George backed into the counter Mrs. Weasley positively shaking with anger. Ron and Harry still staring at Hermione with concern her eyes squeezed shut.
"Hermione had drunk a love potion. When she opens her eyes the first person she sees she will fall in love with." Said George
"Well the girl can't go around with her eyes closed the rest of her life." Said Mr. Weasley chuckling but stopped as Mrs. Weasley turned to him glaring.
"Who should stand in front of her?" Asked Harry grinning over at Ron with a knowing look. The Weasley family looked around at each other.
"Don't I have a say in this?" Hermione spoke up finally.
"Well depends on who you want to fall in love with." Said Fred "Mind you dad and Bill are married and George and I are a bit older than you….no offense Hermione you're a cute girl and all but we do have some pretty girls we would hate to disappoint." Fred looked at George raising his eyebrows suggestible George grinned.
"Well honestly that only leaves Ron and Harry dear which one sweetheart?" Mr. Weasley asked Hermione smiling. Hermione froze stock still Harry and Ron looked at Hermione who looked as though she had just been petrified.
"What! I can't do that they're my friends you just can't expect me to put this on them." Hermione said a blush creeping up her face. Ginny glanced at Harry who was now looking at her. She nodded her head toward Ron and Harry nodded back in agreement. Harry smiled an idea forming in his head now.
"How about we both stand in front of you and who ever you focus on first we be the one you love until the potion wears off." Harry suggested grinning wildly.
"Ok I guess but I hate to do this. How long does this last?" Hermione asked very quietly.
"Don't know that's why we asked Bill to test it but I say no more than two weeks right George?"
"Right Fred" The twins nodded together looking pleased with each other.
"Two weeks!" Hermione was positively red now her hands in tight fist shaking slightly. "You two need to learn to test your new products in a safe environment so these types of things don't happen." Yelled Hermione
"Well we know that now thanks to you Hermione" said the twins in union "Hermione we are sorry but you are going to have to open your eyes and get this over with." Fred said apologetically.
"I know that!" she said clearly frustrated
"So what about my idea?" asked Harry trying to cover a grin.
"I suppose I really don't have a choice here." She said quietly. Ron looked at Harry having no said a word the whole time. Harry shrugged and stepped in front of Hermione. Ron starting to blush madly followed Harry's lead shaking slightly from nerves. Harry standing on the right and Ron on the left Hermione sensing them raised her eyebrows but dropped her head to the ground her face very red now.
"You ready?" Harry asked trying to keep the laughter out of his voice.
"Ok" she said slowly. The rest of the Weasley moved around behind Hermione just to be safe most of them trying to conceal their smiles from Mrs. Weasley who still was frowning.
"Ok Hermione...open your eyes." Harry pronounced but as Hermione lifted her head her eyes slowly opening Harry took a step to the right. Hermione eyes immediately focused on a light blue shirt and as she trailed up the she was looking into a pair of blue eyes and a head of flaming red hair. Hermione's mind went blank and was instantly filled with nothing more than Ron.
"Oh Ron!" Hermione gasped Ron looked over to Harry who was now standing by the rest of the Weasley a matching grin on all but Mrs. Weasley. A frighten look pasted over Ron's face as he quickly turned back to Hermione who was smiling up at him with so much love and adoration. Chocking on his words he spoke.
"Yes?" But without warning Hermione reached up grabbed Ron by the back on the head pulled him down and kissed him. Ron to shock to kiss back stood frozen to the spot. The twins whistled loudly, Mrs. Weasley's mouth dropped open; Mr. Weasley slapped Harry on the back. Harry and Ginny started to laugh and Bill and Fleur grinned. Hermione pulled back from the kiss and wrapped her arms around Ron's neck loosely smiling up at him. Ron not sure of what to do wrapped his shaking arms around her waist a stupid grin on his now red face.
"I love you Ron." She said with a shy little tone. Ron's eyes widen he glanced back at his family not expecting anything of the sort.
"Go with it little bro." Said Fred laughing as he was clutching George's shoulder for support.
"Now wait just a moment." Interjected Mrs. Weasley "This girl can not go around for two weeks snogging Ron all over the place."
"Why not?" asked Ron the blushing a crimson red.
"Will she remember this?" Asked Mr. Weasley. Hermione was now running a loving hand through Ron's hair smiling up at him her other hand still around his neck. Ron had his arms still around her waist looking at a total lose of what to do but was looking as though he was just made Head Boy.
"Doubtful" George answered Mr. Weasley "But you never know with love potions depends on how strong it is granted this is quite strong I doubt she will remember much if anything."
"Ron!" Said Mrs. Weasley trying to get his attention "I love Hermione like a daughter but I will not have to two of you snogging all over this house." Finished Mrs. Weasley walking over and taking Hermione by the hand dragging her to a chair at the table and sitting her down. Hermione waved over at Ron then blew him a kiss. Ron blushed but waved back. The Weasley's following Mrs. Weasley all took a seat around the kitchen table all eyes on Hermione still winking and waving at Ron.
"What do you suggest we do Molly? They will be under the same roof are we to keep them apart for two weeks? Boys don't you have an antidote?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"No we just started on these stronger ones. We have some for the weaker ones back at the shop but you know we can't mix potions and antidotes that don't go together. I don't think Hermione would like to be a jinn pig for it either." Fred answered. They fell silent, Ron still looking at Hermione who was now mouthing 'I love you.' Ron looked around and seeing that no one was looking at him mouthed it back at her quickly. But at this Hermione squealed with delight and jumped out of her seat ready to run to Ron when Mrs. Weasley grabbed her arm and sat her back down. Mrs. Weasley turned and glared at Ron.
"What did you do?" She barked
"Nothing" Ron said quickly and stared down at his hands.
"Mother you are going to have to let this work it's self out. It's only two weeks." Said Bill speaking at last but glanced at Ron knowingly. When Ron had came home after his fourth year he had spoke to Bill about his new feelings for Hermione. Knowing that Bill would give advice rather than the teasing that Fred and George would hound him with. They spoke of what Ron should do and of course of Victor Krum. Ron knew if Bill had said this would be ok Mrs. Weasley would surly give in and sure enough when she spoke it was pleasing to Ron.
"I guess your right Bill" Mrs. Weasley said with a defeated tone. "But Ron" she snapped making Ron jump in fright "You must behave yourself remember she is still your friend. Don't take advantage of the poor girl she may remember this so careful of what you do." She finished sternly making Ron sit back in his chair as to put more space between them.
"I would never do anything to hurt Hermione or anything that she would hate me for." Ron said defensively.
"Well come on lets let them talk leave them alone to see if maybe they can work something out" said Mr. Weasley standing up from his chair the rest of the family following. Each of the Weasley men slapping Ron on the back as the left the kitchen, Harry and Ginny gave sort of a punch on the shoulder and Mrs. Weasley stopped at his side.
"Ron she is your friend you must not forget. Please behave." Mrs. Weasley said with a heavy sigh then leaving the kitchen. Hermione sitting on the other side of the table beamed at Ron. Ron now feeling guilty gave a sort of half smile at her.
"Hermione look you not really love with me though…." He glanced back down at his hands his heart now hurting with an explainable pain.
"Yes I am Ron. You are the sweetest, caring, handsome man I know." Hermione said making Ron's heart clench tightly wanting her to say those words without a love potion she stood and walked over to Ron. Standing beside him she put out a hand for him to take. He took it his heart beating rather quickly now and stood beside her but she wrapped her arms around his neck again and leaned into to him. Ron closed his eyes this time ready for it and enjoyed the feeling of her hands playing on the back of his neck. She smiled at him and placed a smile kiss on his cheek.
"Kiss me" she whispered. Ron opened his eyes at looking into her eyes he saw love that he had praying for. Not waiting taking the opportunity as it came he bent down and kissed her passionately. Ready for this kiss unlike the first he kissed her with what he had pent it for almost three years. His heart was beating so loudly now he was sure that his family in the next room could hear it. He wrapped his arms around her waste again pulling her closer to him their bodies now snuggled together. He pulled back a little from the kiss with difficulty and pushed some of her hair behind her ear.
"You have no idea how long I have wanted to do that." His breathed quietly. Smiling she reached up and kissed his cheek again.
"Umm….I would say since fourth year." She said simply. Ron pushed back from her startled by this answer a quizzical expression now present on his face. Hermione just smiled at him not thinking much of it.
"You knew?" He shuttered his voice barely above a whisper.
"Of course I did. You were so jealous of Victor and..."
"Why didn't you say something?" Ron shouted cutting her off anger now present in his voice forgetting about the love potion.
"What's the matter?" She asked a little taken back from his sudden anger towards her.
"All this time you knew and never said anything! Last year I went out with Lavender to make you jealous, started playing Quidditch for you because of Vicky, growing my hair out like Harry's in case you like that as well." Ron bellowed angrily but his face a shinning red and he looked away from her and started to pace the kitchen.
"Well I don't remember you exactly asking me out or telling me that you had feeling for me." She shot back her eyes filling with tears all of a sudden. Ron stopped pacing seeing her tears in her eyes. Never in all the arguments had she started crying in front of him sure Harry had said Ron had made her cry but never in front of him like this. This is something that was new to him and was breaking his heart to see the hurt he just caused her not sure why she was even crying to begin with.
"What…why…why are you crying?" He asked walking over to her placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I love you and you're mad at me for it." She sniffed wiping her watery eyes. Ron now remembering the potion from her words he sighed heavily looking at him feet his mind racing.
"This is going to be harder than I thought" he whispered to himself. Hermione who had stopped crying now looked at him a hurt and bewildered express on her soft face. Ron glanced at her seeing her expression and continued quickly.
"I actually love you Hermione you on the other hand are just under a love potion. I always thought that when I said that or when we kissed it was because you loved me in return no because of one of Fred and George's products." Hermione stared at him as he spoke but her expression changed from hurt to one of pure happiness.
"But Ron I do love you! I have for a long time why do you think I avoided you and Lavender last year?" Ron was surprised by this statement thinking it was only the potion still she had avoided him for half a year when Lavender and he started dating. Was it the potion or was that something the potion brought out.
"Really?" He asked afraid it was all a joke and the rest of his family would come in laughing at him.
"Yes Ronal…now may I have another one of your wonderful kisses?" She gave him a sexy grin and Ron nodded stupidly and watched her as she placed her hands on his chest rubbing them up and down his chest feeling his hard abs. Ron was becoming very warm due to these actions slowly she pressed her body up against his her hands still roaming over his shoulders up to his hair.
"Hermione?" Ron shuttered out never having this kind of heat and feelings in his stomach. She stood on her tipping toes and pressed her lips to his slowly her tongue running over his bottom lip seeking entrance. Ron giving a slight moan open granting access to Hermione who took the advantage pressing her body so close to his you could not squeeze piece of paper through. Ron placing his hands in her long hair pressing her face firmly to his kissing her harder. The tow of them wrapped in the own world not noticing the kitchen door had opened and the Weasley family and Harry were staring at the two of them as if they had never knew them. Ron with his back to the door pulled away slightly from their kiss and smiled down at her.
"I really do love you….so much Hermione." He whispered to her before bending back down to her and kissing her again feverously. The Weasley's and Harry all looked at each other realizing then and there that there son, brother, best friend was completely and totally in love with one Hermione Granger love potion or not the boy was head over heals.
Ok here some if you like it I'll continue it if not then I'll leave it like that…I guess I don't know you tell me.
